Creating CECL Subcategories

Use this information to create current expected credit loss (CECL) subcategories.

Subcategories allow you to group, drill down into, and examine subsets of a category's data on both the Validation and the Analysis current expected credit loss (CECL) pages. You can enter Q Factors at the subcategory level, and subcategories can be included in CECL reports when appropriate.

Subcategories exist on the Financial Performance Suite (FPS) side. Only parent category data is sent to Deep Future Analytics (DFA).

  1. Navigate to Setup > CECL > Category Assumptions.
  2. Select the category that you want to add subcategories to.
  3. Select "" Add, and enter a subcategory name in the field that appears below the category.
    Repeat this step to add additional subcategories under the same category.
  4. Use "" Move to drag the subcategory to a new position and change the order of items before you save your subcategories.
  5. Select Save.
When you save, the parent category's history goes to the first subcategory in the list.

Subcategories added to Ag Installment category on the Category Assumptions page.

In this example, under the Ag Installment category, only the Designer Bean Farms subcategory contains history after the subcategories are saved.

The only way to get history into all of your CECL subcategories is through the monthly update process. The application allows subcategories to be selected as CECL categories so that history can be uploaded to them instead of into their parent category.

Before you can delete a subcategory, the application asks you to specify which other subcategory receives the deleted one's data. When you have one subcategory left under a parent category and you decide to delete it, you are not asked to combine the data since the data automatically goes back to the parent.
